Thread Name: BS: Post Brexit life in the UK
Subject: RE: BS: Post Brexit life in the UK
Fair play. It was all put to the people and they decided who made the best case and who they believed

The reason I drew attention to the leaflet that said "Let's give our NHS the £350 million the EU takes every week" is because it is about those who voted Brexit act now. We hear many people say what was printed on the bus was true and just misinterpreted: that it did not claim the Leave people said "Let's give our NHS the £350 million the EU takes every week".

But this poster says exactly that. The actual figure has been discussed many times so leave that to one side. As I read it, this claims that a significant number of billions going to the EU is promised for the NHS.

Do those who voted Leave say it still doesn't make the claim? Or do they say it was a lie, but it's all in the past so we needn't worry about it? Or do some think some people were fooled but nevertheless even with that they think the decision to leave was still the best thing? Or have they another way of looking at it? No one need answer, unless they wish to. But it is worth reflecting on.


And that matters, because it should influence how people think about the current promises.
